Overview

Sync groups copy emojis from a source to one or more target servers. Use them to keep related communities, event servers, or brand servers consistent.

Sync modes

Before you begin

Make sure:
  • Kao can manage the source and target servers.
  • The bot has Manage Emojis and Stickers in each target server.
  • Target servers have enough static and animated emoji capacity.
  • You have a backup if the sync may remove emojis.

Create a sync group

  1. Go to Sync.
  2. Choose Create Sync Group.
  3. Select Collection Source or Server Mirror.
  4. Choose the source collection or source server.
  5. Select target servers.
  6. Choose sync settings.
  7. Create the group.

Sync settings

The setting names below intentionally match the dashboard labels, including labels that use “Emotes.”
Remove Extra Emojis can delete target server emojis. Leave it off if targets should keep their own local emojis.

Run a sync

Sync groups run when you choose Sync Now. Kao compares the source and target servers, then adds missing emojis and optionally removes extras. Progress appears while the sync runs, and results are saved in sync history. Large syncs can take a few minutes because Discord limits emoji changes.

Manage a sync group

You can:
  • Change the source collection or server
  • Add or remove targets
  • Toggle static or animated syncing
  • Toggle Remove Extra Emojis
  • Review history
  • Delete the group
